| Bosi | Hello everyone, this message started to appear on Xubunty 14.04 to me: "The update information is outdated. This maybe caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available." ... with sudo apt-get update, everything goes fine and no error messages or anything appear... what could it be then? | 03:12 |

| nico_ | my ipod classic keeps disconnecting mid transfer is this a xubuntu problem or a rockbox problem | 05:34 |
| hardland | hello | 07:39 |
| hardland | I've been using for some time kubuntu, and now I need to install in a pc a bit old xubuntu. Any advice you can give me? | 07:41 |
| SamwiseGamgee | How do you search for a file using Xubuntu? | 07:55 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Catfish? | 07:57 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Catfish doesn't work, is it supposed to be used for searching for files? | 07:57 |
| elfy | catfish does work and is used for searching for files | 07:58 |

| jost | Hi! Is ti possible to leave new windows in the background? | 09:50 |
| ali1234 | you mean like pop-under? | 09:51 |
| jost | For example: I start my IDE. It takes about 20 seconds to do so, first with a splash screen, then the IDE-window itself. 20 seconds is long enough for me to do something else - type something in a shell. But then the window pops up, and half the stuff I have typed goes to the splash screen or new window... | 09:52 |
| jost | it should just start, open the window, but be in the background initially | 09:52 |
| bluesabre | SamwiseGamgee, please let me know what sort of issues you are having with catfish | 09:52 |
| ali1234 | i don't think that's possible, and it certainly isn't easy | 09:52 |
| jost | ali1234: one could | 09:52 |
| jost | ali1234: ok :( | 09:53 |
| SamwiseGamgee | they are resolved | 09:53 |
| ali1234 | because reasons... the window focus code in xfwm is "interesting" | 09:53 |
| ali1234 | you might want to try a different window manager, maybe tiling would more suit you? | 09:53 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I was looking in the wrong drives for the file | 09:53 |
| jost | ali1234: Hmm, are there other window managers with the XFCE look and feel? | 09:54 |
| ali1234 | no, because the window decoration code is also "interesting" | 09:55 |
| SamwiseGamgee | Hey, does CatFish automatically kick in, when I do any search? | 09:55 |
| bluesabre | ali1234, jost: for gtk windows, you can set the hint to desktop to make the z-order always bottom, kinda hacky, not sure if that's what you're looking for | 09:55 |
| ali1234 | however some themes are ported to multiple window managers | 09:55 |
| ali1234 | but wouldn't you have to recompile the software for that? | 09:55 |
| ali1234 | or use a window manager that supports window rules | 09:56 |
| bluesabre | SamwiseGamgee, what do you mean? | 09:56 |
| SamwiseGamgee | I started searching from File Manager, but I didn't see the name Catfish on top | 09:56 |
| SamwiseGamgee | but it looked like Catfish was doing the searching | 09:56 |
| jost | Hmm, I'll change the window manager then, some time... not enough time to do it right now | 09:56 |
| jost | ali1234: bluesabre: thanks | 09:57 |
| bluesabre | Catfish pops up from the file manager, but only if you right-click -> "Find in this folder" | 09:57 |
| SamwiseGamgee | oh, i'll try it again... | 09:57 |
| SamwiseGamgee | yeah, I think CatFish automatically kicks in no matter how I search | 09:59 |
| SamwiseGamgee | and Catfish is working | 09:59 |
| SamwiseGamgee | thanks, goodbye | 10:00 |
| bluesabre | ok cool, np | 10:01 |
| HypothesisFrog | why won't my panel hide? | 11:22 |
| HypothesisFrog | I have limited screen space. It's a real annoyance. | 11:22 |
| cfhowlett | HypothesisFrog Panel > Preferences | 11:23 |
| HypothesisFrog | Preferences are correct cfhowlett | 11:23 |
| HypothesisFrog | I have "automatically hide" ticked | 11:24 |
| HypothesisFrog | it's just hammed on unhidden. | 11:24 |
| HypothesisFrog | *jammed | 11:24 |
| cfhowlett | HypothesisFrog well, you can always nuke /home/.config/xfce4 and your panels will reset to defaults | 11:25 |
| HypothesisFrog | cfhowlett won't I lose all my panel items? | 11:30 |
| cfhowlett | HypothesisFrog custom additions to the panel? yes. you'll be back to defaults. it'll look like the guest account | 11:32 |
| HypothesisFrog | too much hassle. Thanks anyway. | 11:32 |

| elfy | ochosi: are you getting xfce mails? | 13:40 |
| jk_ | I have a problem with Orage Calendar 4.10 running on 12.04.4 Precise; no events display in the calendar window but the ICS file is good and the mouseover tip in the notification area does display coming events. This just happened for no reason I can determine. Any ideas? | 13:50 |
| HypothesisFrog | One of my panels won't auto hide. Anyone know how to fix that? | 13:58 |
| HypothesisFrog | or should I join and xfce related chan? | 13:58 |
| jk_ | HypothesisFrog, seems pretty quiet in here today. Sorry I don't have an answer for you. | 14:00 |

| Mac_Write | Good morning all | 14:46 |
| Mac_Write | I need help with XUbuntu 14.04 on Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac | 14:46 |
| GridCube | !details | Mac_Write | 14:49 |
| ubottu | Mac_Write: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 14:49 |
| Mac_Write | Parallels Tools fails to install on Xubuntu 14.04 on Parallels Desktop for Mac 8 | 14:50 |
| Mac_Write | Using the Live CD the screen resolution is fine, but after install I am limited to 800x600 | 14:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mac_Write: Does Parallels have an additions module for Linux? | 14:53 |
| Mac_Write | Yes and it failed to install | 14:54 |
| xubuntu027 | My xubuntu is no sound can anyone help? | 14:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mac_Write: I dunno squat about Parallels, but VBox for Mac is probably better at handling Linux in general anyways. Also, you can import your Parallels virtual disk directly into it | 14:56 |
| GridCube | xubuntu027, check in pavucontrol that audio is streaming to your desired output, it might be sending it to analog instead of hdmi, or viseversa | 15:00 |
| xubuntu496 | GridCube, and is already checked as you said including output indicators are flowing as if the plate had ok minus the sound that comes out I'm not wearing headphones | 15:09 |
| GridCube | are the speakers turned on? | 15:10 |
| GridCube | what program are you using to listen sounds? | 15:10 |
| xubuntu496 | my pc does not have speakers connected'm only with headphones connected | 15:11 |
| xubuntu496 | already uninstalled and installed pulseaudio and more not already been solved in the alsa settings increased the volume of option fonbes of ouvidose nothing | 15:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ... What was that? | 15:15 |
| xubuntu829 | hi there | 15:36 |

| xubuntu829 | )) | 15:36 |
| xubuntu829 | why ur smiling )) | 15:36 |
| xubuntu829 | i need suport pls | 15:36 |
| mac- | shoot us | 15:36 |
| baizon | xubuntu829: we thought so, because this is a support channel :P | 15:37 |
| xubuntu829 | i need to install xubuntu | 15:37 |
| xubuntu829 | )) | 15:37 |
| mac- | such need is very good | 15:37 |
| mac- | :F | 15:37 |
| mac- | :D | 15:37 |
| xubuntu829 | i have downloaded this file | 15:37 |
| crimsondusk | so what is stopping you from installing it? | 15:37 |
| xubuntu829 | xubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386 | 15:37 |
| crimsondusk | that is an .iso file right? | 15:37 |
| xubuntu829 | yep | 15:37 |
| crimsondusk | you will need to burn that into a bootable medium | 15:37 |
| crimsondusk | such as a cd | 15:37 |
| baizon | or usb | 15:38 |
| xubuntu829 | yes | 15:38 |
| xubuntu829 | i have done it in two different | 15:38 |
| xubuntu829 | dvd-s | 15:38 |
| xubuntu829 | now im trying in the third one | 15:38 |
| xubuntu829 | i think i am doing something wrong | 15:39 |
| crimsondusk | what stops you from using the ones you already burned? | 15:39 |
| baizon | well an error description would be good | 15:39 |
| xubuntu829 | when i restart pc | 15:39 |
| baizon | why cant you install it from the burned dvd? | 15:39 |
| xubuntu829 | it does not boot from cd | 15:39 |
| baizon | xubuntu829: have you set your bios to boot from DVD? | 15:40 |
| crimsondusk | have you ensured the boot order prioritizes the dvd? | 15:40 |
| xubuntu829 | yes i think | 15:40 |
| crimsondusk | that is not the same as being sure | 15:40 |
| xubuntu829 | ok | 15:40 |
| xubuntu829 | i will try to be sure on this | 15:41 |
| baizon | xubuntu829: check if there are files on the DVD? | 15:41 |
| xubuntu829 | yes baizon there are the files that i have burned | 15:41 |
| baizon | ok | 15:41 |
| xubuntu829 | but not expanded only the burned one | 15:41 |
| baizon | so the next step is to check if your pc/laptop is really booting from CD | 15:42 |
| xubuntu829 | ok | 15:42 |
| xubuntu829 | thank u | 15:42 |
| xubuntu829 | i will do this now | 15:42 |
| baizon | xubuntu829: np, report back if you have more questions/information about your problem | 15:42 |
| GridCube | xubuntu829, remember that uefi machines might not boot from legacy sources | 15:44 |
| GridCube | !uefi | 15:44 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 15:44 |
| GridCube | you might need to enter the uefi menus and allow booting from legacy devices | 15:45 |
| xubuntu829 | what is a wefi menu | 15:46 |
| xubuntu829 | ?? | 15:46 |
| xubuntu829 | uefi | 15:46 |
| GridCube | xubuntu829, similar to what the BIOS menu used to be | 15:46 |
| xubuntu829 | no i have bios thnx | 15:47 |
| xubuntu829 | )) | 15:47 |
| xubuntu566 | same xubuntu as before | 15:57 |
| xubuntu566 | didnt changed my /name | 15:58 |
| xubuntu566 | but it changed the numbers | 15:58 |
| xubuntu566 | i think i have the problem in the booting part | 15:58 |
| xubuntu566 | i have a hp 550 | 15:58 |
| xubuntu566 | and the boot menu options give me the right to enable or disable boot from cd | 15:59 |
| xubuntu566 | when trying to give priority boot from cd is renamed in usb boot from cd or dvd | 15:59 |
| xubuntu566 | so there is no priority to give for the cd or dvd | 16:00 |
| xubuntu566 | !!! | 16:00 |
| GridCube | because its legacy | 16:02 |
| GridCube | and you uefi does not allow you to boot from legacy, you have to enable that | 16:03 |

| Fricetix | --/2 | 18:00 |
| FernandoBasso | Hi folks. I think xubuntu is the best ubuntu flavor available. I'd like to remove the "global menu" stuff, though. Is it possible? | 18:59 |
| HedgeMage | FernandoBasso: it's usually a little slow this time of day on a weekend, but hang out a while and someone may be able to help | 19:03 |
| HedgeMage | I don't use xfce4, so I'm not much help in this case :( | 19:03 |
| Unit193 | FernandoBasso: Global menu? Did you perhaps install Xubuntu on Ubuntu? | 19:03 |
| FernandoBasso | Unit193: Yes. | 19:03 |
| Unit193 | HedgeMage: i3m or awesome? | 19:04 |
| FernandoBasso | And the panel insists in show a global menu like behavior | 19:04 |
| HedgeMage | Unit193: i3 :) | 19:04 |
| FernandoBasso | I'll download and install the reall xubuntu installation media. | 19:04 |
| FernandoBasso | It is for my wife's computer. | 19:05 |
| FernandoBasso | I have run arch linux on my laptop for years, and just installed ubuntu (unity) today. | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | FernandoBasso: Remove indicator-menu or however it's called. | 19:06 |
| FernandoBasso | All right. I'll try this in a while. | 19:07 |
| Unit193 | indicator-applet-appmenu or indicator-appmenu, I'm not sure what Ubuntu uses. | 19:13 |
| === DalekSec_ is now known as DalekSec | ||
| xubuntu766 | Hello, this is my first time using an IRC for tech support. I've run into an issue with my user login process on Xubuntu 14.04. Anyone able to help out with it now? [Will give more details afterward] | 20:57 |
| knome | xubuntu766, just ask the question and if somebody knows the answer, they will most probably reply | 21:09 |
| xubuntu766 | Okay. I recently ran the update tool and it included a kernel update ending in .30 (approx. 80 MB of updates total). After running the update, I can log in to my user account, but Xfce won't load any menus, desktop icons, etc. I had this problem once before in a Virtualbox load. I was thinking it was a crash from kernel updating, which has occurred with me before. But, when I usually have that type of problem, I can't even | 21:12 |
| xubuntu766 | With this latest problem, I can log into a guest account fine, and menus, icons, etc. load fine. I did customize the look and function of my panels on the main account, but am not sure if it is connected to the login issue. | 21:13 |
| SkippersBoss | If your guest account or any other account for that matter works fine the answer should be found in your ~ | 21:15 |
| SkippersBoss | have you cleared .cache ? | 21:16 |
| xubuntu766 | Nope don't think so. | 21:16 |
| SkippersBoss | ok i am totally NOT an expert Knome is :-) he is also rather busy <grin> | 21:17 |
| SkippersBoss | But I have found that clraing you /home/user/.cache folder will sometimes help with inexplicable issues | 21:19 |
| SkippersBoss | further more it sounds like your desktop is not loaded properly your logs should provide any info on what it is failing to load.... Others in hear will be better equiped to help you out | 21:21 |
| SkippersBoss | good luck | 21:21 |
| xubuntu766 | Hmm okay. Are there any files within .cache that I need to be concerned with nuking before doing some blanket command like "rm -r" on it? | 21:21 |
| SkippersBoss | not taht i am aware off. but don't take my word for it | 21:22 |
| xubuntu766 | Okay. Thanks for the suggestion SkippersBoss! I may do something like rename .cache to .cacheold and make a new .cache folder---unless that's a bad idea (idk!). | 21:24 |
| knome | xubuntu766, no need to create a new cache folder, or back it up | 21:40 |
| xubuntu766 | Okay, I may try deleting soon. I just made a new user from the main account via terminal login. The new user has a default Xfce desktop with nothing missing either. | 21:41 |
| xubuntu766 | Thank you to SkippersBoss and knome! I got my menus and icons back after a recursive delete of .cache contents. I was somewhat concerned it would delete my custom desktop by removing the "sessions" folder (which I assume is made by Xfce session manager), but my customizations were retained. You guys are awesome! | 21:55 |
| SkippersBoss | here to help | 21:59 |
| xubuntu766 | And you did too! :) | 21:59 |
| gonzo_ | hola | 23:46 |
| FernandoBasso | Oi. | 23:56 |
